Doublechecked.  Pink skin

I have managed to match her color with DMC embroidery
floss.  However it's a complicated match....

#453, a light pink/purple tinted grey;
#648, a slate/steel very light grey,
#842, a light tanish grey.

One strand of each, mixed together and stitched;
held against her fur, matches her quite exactly when
examined from 18" (44 cm) away under fairly direct
incandescent light.

With the problems of photographing her and getting
a good match on a displayed picture over the
internet, I opted for trying to match her fur with the
embroidery floss.

The shades when held against her individually....

#648 (slate steel very light grey) makes her look very brown.
#453 (pinkish purple very light grey) makes her look ashy brown
#842 (tanish light grey) makes her look sort of pinkish purple.

#453 and #842 mixed together are the right hue, but too light
in shade.  Adding #648 darkens the other two visually; and
makes a good match.

She is almost identically shaded across her body, the top of
her head and the back of her neck just barely darker.
